Have you tried Dave Winer's Fargo? http://fargo.io

Also, don't forget corruption.

And if your editor is Emacs, you can use this: https://github.com/Wilfred/ag.el

brcrth | 13 years ago | on: Sorry, Geeks, Microsoft Excel is Everywhere

My impression is that Apple II/VisiCalc were used by small/personal business and Lotus 123 was for big corporations/industry. But I might be wrong since I wasn't even born on that period.

So why you moved to Python?

brcrth | 13 years ago | on: SwiftKey Flow beta now open

I use 2 languages with the stock 4.2 keyboard just fine. Changing via spacebar.

brcrth | 13 years ago | on: Prismatic launches a full redesign and shares their awesome design process

So much better now. My only complain is that when you shrink your browser window you lose the interests section, which I visit all the time for specific news.

SAGE is pretty cool too! http://www.sagemath.org/

brcrth | 13 years ago | on: Leaving Microsoft

Very enlightening. I always thought that the "financial world" were locked into Fortran/COBOL.

They also have Xbox.

brcrth | 13 years ago | on: Use Zsh

No, really. Use what you like/know. I hate posts about "you should use X because I like it".

So what's wrong with this? People are not being forced to do anything.

The lack of notification (my dock is permanently hidden and the app doesn't have a menubar icon) is such a deal breaker for me.

brcrth | 13 years ago | on: Siri is old tech now - check out Google's solution

So what? My point is that Siri doesn't apply as a valid/common "person" name in some languages and used the meaning in portuguese as an example.

brcrth | 13 years ago | on: Siri is old tech now - check out Google's solution

Siri in portuguese is crab. So the "People feel they are talking to another person" doesn't apply everywhere.

brcrth | 14 years ago | on: Light Table reaches funding goal of $200k

Since Light Table relies on CodeMirror (AFAIK), will some amount of money go to Marijn Haverbeke, along with other kinds of contributions to his project?

brcrth | 14 years ago | on: Say hello to Octicons

So you force a behavior through your browser but when it doesn't work you blame the site? Ok...

brcrth | 14 years ago | on: The new Git-scm.com

I wonder how much awesome free/open source tools/services would benefit from a clean, good design like this.

brcrth | 14 years ago | on: Create New File in Finder. A script for Alfred App

I use and like Alfred but I think most of the people here are comfortable with terminal and uses it a lot. The touch command is way more easier, fast and "portable".
